@Paul....what is your point?

I've just got through explaining how stats can show a style of gameplan and (in this style at least) are best suiting to 'vs opponent' comparisons.

Your collingwood example is great. But they could lose the inside 50 count every week.
So should it be celebrated that they are 4th?

It is actually possible that a team who is last in inside 50's actually wins the inside 50 count every week too.

The point I was making is that the I50 stat is more misleading than most, and requires a context more than most.

When you have forwards that struggle to keep the ball in F50 and apply defensive pressure, the ball comes out far too easily. In combination with this, we have a team that plays Bolton's bus, which means they are often struggling to make good field position to apply pressure, because they're too far down field, which doesn't help our forwards.
